Recycling is a process that makes certain materials to be reused in some other ways; which gives improvement over landfilling, incineration and reduce environmental pollution. To make a city more sustainable, recycle is important but it depends on the actions of many individuals. What the promoter can do is to make recycle easier for people; such as bins for recycling, as convenient location as possible. If people need to walk a long distance to get to a recycling bin, then they may throw it in the trash or any other bins instead. The label should be clear, obvious and easy to understand. One of the themes that recur in the sustainability field is the need for communication and teamwork.

Buenos Aires Capital of Argentine
Buenos Aires is in the central-east parts of Argentina, on the western bank of Rio de la Plata. Its divided into three areas: the province, the metropolitan area (around 13 million inhabitants) and the city (3 million inhabitants). It is one of the largest economies in Latin America because Argentina has a Gross Domestic Product of more than US$ 540 billion.

[Accessed 22 Nov 2017] Buenos Aires has no idea what to do with its garbage, approximately 14,000 tonnes of garbage are produced daily by Buenos Aires. The amount of waste produced in the city has grown significantly over the last five years, according to the figure of the government’s Ceamse agency that manages garbage disposal in the Argentine capital; generated 1.4 million tons in 2005, and jumped to 1.8 million in 2009; with an increase of 28.5%.

There are so many different ways our world can recycle ,The goal is to reduce the amount of waste ,
Recycling saves a lot of energy and prevents pollution. It even creates jobs. In an EPA 2016 report, recycling accounted for over 700,000 jobs! On the other side of the
Recycling is the process in which materials, that are no longer needed, are remanufactured making new products in order to prevent wastage of useful material and also to reduce pollution, landfill, greenhouse gases and energy usage.
Recycling is a very essential and crucial process in our world today. The term recycling means that waste can be converted into new products instead of being discarded. As the population continues to grow, humans are using more and more products. In order to reduce the amount of waste on planet Earth, and to preserve its resources, recycling is significant. Not only does recycling allow the environment to thrive, but it also allows living people to thrive as well. There are many materials that can be recycled. Plastics, electronics, aluminum, food and glass are only but a few products that can be recycled. Recycling can benefit our environment in numerous amount of ways. However, without recycling, negative impacts on our environment can occur. Some of these effects include pollution whether it is air, land or sea, depletion of natural resources and even an increase threat to global warming. Therefore, recycling is extremely important to sustain our environment.
How will I help our environment? I will be partnering up with Karlie Ramirez, we have decided on the 21st of October to head up to Giant Rock, located in Lucerne Valley. Over the years mankind has polluted our air drastically, consequently we throw trash on the ground and in our oceans. At worst is air pollution. Exhaust fumes, Radiation spill or nuclear accidents It creates an adverse effect on the overall environment. We put fumes and gases in our air on a daily base and How does this affect our environment? As some of us have seen It kills wildlife and is currently putting a hole in our Ozone Layer. Karlie and I will be heading to pick up trash, approximately for about 5 hours. Before we can move forward, there are a few steps we will need to complete before the 23rd of September. Moving Forward to our first step, will need to speak to our parent about purchasing a few items. Such as, trash bags, gloves and water. Moving on to our Second step, discussing where we will be disposing of all trash we pick up. When you make a point of doing everything you can to help your environment by recycling, your actions make you part of the solution rather than part of the problem. Our third step, talk to our parents about transportation and Location in Giant Rock. After these steps, Karlie and I will be ready to help our earth function and breathe, on the 21st of October. (Here we come Giant Rock!) Everyday items such as soda cans and plastic bottles can be deadly for unsuspecting wildlife.
It is often thought that recycling isn’t very productive or effective. What this argument overlooks is that; “In the United States we generate enough trash to fill 63,000 garbage trucks that hold 9 tons of trash each. If we remove the recyclables we would need only 46,000 garbage trucks” (York 1). Since 153 tons of garbage is recycled and saved each day, it has proven to be more effective.
There are three main points when dealing with the sanitation and recycling company on how to manage garbage waste such as reuse, cut back and recycle. To understand about recycling and how all isn’t that difficult to do: it 's simply a matter of changing your disposable habit. Consequences of naught recycling resort in things like pollution, landfill build ups, reduces global warming, by not reusing, cutting back, and recycling we are destroying habitats, and energy consumptions.
Audience Relevance: Recycling is something most people choose to ignore. Recycling helps the world by reusing trash to make new products. As a result, this helps reduce the amount of trash that rot in landfills and pollution.
While items such as paper, glass, metal cans, plastic and clothes can all be recycled. However the start up costs of recycling. A good example of an Urban area which has a high rate of waste management is Curitiba which recycles 70% of its waste. In the late 1980’s it was the first city to offer a wide variety of recycling services. Curitiba recycles 2/3 of its household waste this figure is one of the highest in the world. The recycling plants are made up of recycled material and employ people who find it hard to get jobs for example immigrants and disabled people, this makes the employees feel valued and it helps to improve the lives.

Increased recycling means less trash entering landfills. The greatest environmental benefit of recycling is the use of energy and natural resources when old materials are used to make new products. Many consider recycling an easy task. Products that become garbage have an effect on global warming, which makes recycling as a viable option. The phrase ‘Reduce, Reuse, Recycle’ was coined to promote recycling and a clean environment. Recycling is a simple way in which people can contribute to making a better world. It takes time and effort to collect, separate and send trash away. Recycling effects every aspect of our environment—homes, schools and hospitals.
These days, our earth has been filled by a lot of waste. There is a lot of garbage, plastic waste, and electronic waste. We always produce it and dump it when we need the new one. Our waste are piling up and continuously accumulating. Plastic waste is one of the biggest problems for us now. And our solution in this problem is recycling. In my opinion, recycling is a way to manage used items into new products. We can reduce, reuse, and recycling (3R) waste management (Peter, 2013). We can reduce our waste clothes with reuse it. There are some reasons why peoples recycle used or unwanted items, which are, prevent wasting unusable materials that still have usage after recycled, reduce the application of raw materials, reduce energy
To begin, recycling helps minimize pollution. Go outside, can you see the stars? If not, it’s because of pollution. A major contributor to air pollution is the burning of waste that is sent to landfills. In fact, if recycling levels increase to 75% in the United States, it will have the same effect on carbon dioxide levels as if 55 million cars were removed from U.S. roads every year (Recycle). Recycling helps to reduce waste sent to incinerators, and thus reduces air pollution. Even through the processing of recycled items, pollution is lessened. For instance, studies show that "recycled paper produces approximately 70% less air pollution than if it was made from raw materials" ("Forty"). Air pollution both harms the earth and the people on it by contributing to global warming as well as respiratory diseases. That’s why every time people reduce waste, reuse, and recycle their garbage, they save the earth and even millions of lives from the harmful effects of pollution. Overall, requiring recycling will allow pollution rates to plummet and the environmental state of the earth to improve.
In today’s world recycling has become a major benefactor to preserving the environment and the world. One product, among many, being recycled has shown a huge increase in energy savings and costs, and that is aluminum. Using aluminum can pieces with KOH (potassium hydroxide) and other reactants will eventually lead to the production of alum.
Although recycling of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) based plastics decrease the amount of these polymers that end up in municipal waste, the cost of recycling these plastics for the producer are an important factor to weigh in to whether they should be recycled or not. PVC is a soft and flexible plastic used to make clear plastic food wrapping, computer cables, and even pipes and parts for plumbing. Because PVC contains numerous toxins, food products using PVC require virgin material for their construction. In general, there are two types of PVC recycling processes, mechanical and feedstock, which include their own respect costs, purposes, and benefits. Although there are a large number of costs for the producer for recycling PVC from the toxicity to the inefficacy of its recycling process, there are many benefits that include reducing the amount of PVC in municipal waste and its usefulness as a recycled product.
